This is not my actual blog entry but I thought I'd share this funny incident. Caught a meeting (make that near-collision) between a tiny slug and a tiny spider on my bedroom floor last night.
Slug slugging its way around.
Following the groove.
The approach. I actually cheated a bit...the spider was on the other side of the room, but I coaxed ito towards the spider with a few gentle taps on the floor with a broomstick.
Passing each other by like they've been meeting like this for ages. Not one of them got surprised when one of the slug's eyestalks collided with the leg of the spider.
End of encounter.
Spider on the foreground while slug continues to slither along lazily in the background. Take note of the dead baby cockroach on the left there.
I am no stranger to photographing strange and creepy things on the floor of my home or office. My DeviantArt account has photos of spiders, beetles, and even crabs (yes, CRABS) crawling on my office floor (when I was still working back in Mindanao). Will try to post them on this entry later.
Will follow up with my actual blog entry in a bit. Still busy at work.
